It didn’t do a chopsticks tho, it’s like it goes into the gap not onto the string yk?
It really does
kamikaze to wrist-mount-with-a-layer/wrap to rejection gt

Trick names used to be so cool… many of the names now are just the elements of the tricks.
If it were my trick, I’d call it “Isle on Starboard; Man Overboard!” but that’s just me.

I get where you’re coming from but I think the problem is that people don’t mind names for specific elements, but this trick is just a combo. It’s like someone on a skateboard does a kickflip, and then an front side180 afterwards. Like yeah it’s a combo but no one would give it a name to that in particular. Makes it way too messy to remember especially.
But at the same time it is super bland to just see “slack combo #7” when u look up videos haha. But then I’ll see someone name a trick something out there and it doesn’t tell me what the trick is about at all.

Some people still name their tricks and come up with wacky names, eg https://youtu.be/cil8wBwFbxI?si=95G109JtNKC5NopP
Even the trick we’re talking about in this thread is used as part of a larger trick called “Woo Hoo”.
Problem with naming tricks now as compared to the 2000s is that there are way more tricks now and loads of variations. Most new tricks therefore are unlikely to reach the level of ubiquity where they’ll be recognised as “Isle on Starboard…” As compared to a rancid milk.
That said, nothing stopping you coming up with names for tricks yourself.
